Shadow said to Tails, "I know how we can get back to Mobius. I had the revelation as soon as I picked up the last Emerald."

Shadow carefully tucked said Emerald in his quills before continuing. "All it needs is for us to each hold an Emerald and go super. Then we can take the non supers out with us; sadly, that means that Eggman will go too, but we can't help that."

Shadow frowned. He deliberately was ignoring the battle between Eggman, Silver, Blaze and Sonic; for one thing, the three seemed to be getting the upper hand over Eggman and there was no point in interrupting it.

"Got what?" he replied to Tails. Shadow hadn't noticed the discrepancy between there being seven Emeralds, but only six with super forms. "The Master Emerald goes in the middle, with everyone who doesn't have a super form and the rest of us stand around the Master Emerald."
